Using QR Codes to Manage Your Meds


Doctors frequently give out sample medications to patients. This is great, but there is no linking information to the doctor who recommended them. Enter QR codes. If doctors and hospitals used a simple QR code printed on a sticker to attach to samples, patients can scan the code with their smartphones and be linked to the doctor or hospital's website and contact information. What better way to find out where in the world anonymous meds came from?

It is unsafe to take a medication you are unsure of, especially if you got it from a doctor you don't regularly see. By having a link to where exactly you can contact the original prescriber, you can be safe about your medications and manage them with ease!
